Order an Adobe subscription by creating a new agreement and a new Adobe VIP Marketplace account.
Buying from the Adobe VIP Marketplace buying program means purchasing subscription-based products. You subscribe to these products and pay periodically for their usage.
To order a subscription, you must have an agreement. An agreement is a contractual relationship between a seller, buyer, and licensee. Therefore, each ordered subscription is part of an agreement.
When you place an order, you either set up a new agreement or add to an existing agreement. This tutorial shows how to order an Adobe subscription by setting up a new agreement and a new Adobe VIP Marketplace account.
Watch the following video or continue reading for the step-by-step instructions.
Before starting this tutorial, make sure you have the following:
A Marketplace Platform account.
Your company address and contact information. You must provide this information when creating your Adobe VIP Marketplace account.
An active licensee or permission to create a new licensee (if you don't want to use an existing licensee). You'll need to select the licensee when setting up the agreement.
From the main menu, navigate to the Products page (Marketplace > Products) and click Adobe VIP Marketplace for Commercial.
Click Buy now in the upper right on the details page.

Click Next.
Choose whether to create a new account with Adobe or use your existing account. In this tutorial, we'll create a new account by selecting Create account.
